Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Collins should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The Vikings spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Alfred Collins, the No. 55 name on the board, in slot 204.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 24th overall pick they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in Round 3, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in pick 149 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like T.J. Sanders reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at slot 204 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
